Figure 3. Compaction of DNA by HBsu-D26A.
(A) Agarose gel electrophoresis of HBsu and HBsu-D26A binding to supercoiled (s/c; top panel; nc refers to nicked circle) or linear (lin; bottom panel) pUC18 DNA. (B) HBsu and HBsu-D26A binding to nicked pET5a DNA. HBsu variants are identified at the bottom, and protein concentrations, identical for both panels, are indicated below the bottom panel.
